    December 2023: From Peru, to New York, to Missoula – The Journey of a Music and Dance Educator Creating Communities Along the Way

    Join Udo and his guest, Christian Moya, a Peruvian music and culture educator for the last podcast of this year. Moya has lived for many years in New York City, surrounded by a large Latino population. When he moved to Missoula with his wife, he was not sure he would find the same sense of community. But he was pleasantly surprised that, while Missoula's Latino community is fairly small, it is thriving. To Moya, building community, listening to music, dancing, speaking Spanish, while playing percussion instruments, is not only important, but it also creates community. Learn more about Peru, and how important it is to celebrate culture, traditions and customs, especially when one is outside of one’s country of origin. In 2023, the International Voices podcast reached a new record in its listenership around the world, with audiences listening in over 30 countries. I started the International Voices podcast series in February of 2020 and over 40 episodes were recorded so far, featuring many international and multicultural voices from within the United States, as well as individuals, who have studied, worked, researched, or lived in locations around the globe, giving them an international perspective as well.

    November 2023: The Value of Language and Culture Training and the Benefit it Brings to U.S. Foreign Relations - Major General (ret.) Donald Loranger, United States Air Force

    For the November podcast episode of International Voices, Udo is joined by Major General (ret.) Donald Loranger, who was appointed in 2012 to the National Security Education Board by President Obama. The board oversees the National Security Education Program, which increases the United States’ capacity to deal effectively with foreign cultures and languages. Major General Loranger served in the United States Air Force from 1966 until 1996 as an operational pilot and specialist in US national security policy. He started his career graduating from the University of Montana as an Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadet.  Mr. Loranger has extensive international leadership experience, serving as the Commander of the Joint Task Force in Southwest Asia, Commander of the 435th Tactical Airlift Wing at Rhein Main Air Base in Germany, and operational Commander of the Peacekeeping Forces Operation Provide Promise, the aerial resupply of Sarajevo and Eastern Bosnia, the longest running humanitarian airlift in history. In addition, Mr. Loranger has served as a Military Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, and has been a member of that group for over 30-years. Furthermore, for the past 15 years, Mr. Loranger has been the Director of the Defense Critical Language and Culture Program (DCLCP) at the University of Montana. Join both gentlemen for their conversation about the importance of cultural immersion experiences, what it means to be “language and culture smart”, why that skill is more crucial today, than ever before, the affiliation of the DCLCP with UM, what makes the DCLCP one of the most unique language and culture programs in the country and why and how all of this is critical for U.S. foreign relations.

    June 2023: Regents Professor Ragan (Ray) Callaway: Global Ecology: Interactions Between Exotic Invaders and Native Ecosystems.

    Udo talks with Dr. Callaway, an internationally renowned plant and community ecologist, who was one of three Montanans on a prestigious short-list of “The World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds”. Callaway has focused his international research of the past three decades on the interactions within plant communities and ecosystems. Research from his UM laboratory indicates that when humans introduce some plant species to new regions they force together species with different evolutionary trajectories from different continents, disrupting communities but also providing opportunities to test long held ecological paradigms. The conversation provides insight into how plants have moved across the globe, resulting in direct and indirect interactions between plants and with other organisms, including resource competition, and interactions with invasive species, as well as soil microbe, herbivore and competitor-mediated interactions. Callaway shares how other countries deal with invasive plant species and why it is important for a community to have an ecological knowledge base and talks about how his laboratory at UM developed ideas that have been a game changer in plant ecology and ending with some mysteries that remain in the field of global ecology.

    May 2023: Turning Tables and Switching Microphones (PART II) An Interview with Dr. Udo Fluck, the creator of the popular GROW K-12 Outreach Program

    After exactly a year, Mike Smith and Udo Fluck are doing it again for the May podcast! Turning the Tables and Switching the Microphones. Mike is talking to Udo in this special episode, about the GROW - Global Respect of Others in the World Outreach Program in K-12 schools. GROW has expanded consistently, over the years, and nearly doubled its seminar delivery in four local school districts in the 2022-2023 academic year, teaching 580 seminars in the 3rd, 7th and 11th grade curriculum. GROW’s unique pedagogical approach, age-appropriateness, and engaging content, creates a fun learning atmosphere, and, to our knowledge, makes it the only educational K-12 outreach program, of its kind, in the United States. GROW offers very unique learning opportunities that can transform students to not only be “global-ready” but to be “future-ready”. This is part two of a two-part series.
